The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 62

She smiled with such calm openness.

She made no attempt to hide that she herself had once been just a small-town girl, her hands rough from work in the fields.

There was a healthy, honest glow to her face.

The men around her found themselves swept up by her self-assurance and poise.

Even Claud, who had always remained neutral between Winona and Felicity, found himself drawn to Felicity in that moment.

This girl was truly impressive.

She was candid, with a remarkable inner strength; her confidence and vitality were second to none.

No wonder she could win so many men's hearts.

Julian was the one she loved most.

But it was equally clear that Mackenzie had deep feelings for Felicity.

And Xander, the doctor who had only recently returned from abroad, was openly attentive and caring toward her as well.

There was something genuinely lovable—something extraordinary—about Felicity.

By contrast, Winona seemed hopelessly petty and crude in Felicity's presence, her talent for clinging and scheming simply unmatched.

No wonder Julian disliked Winona. Even Claud, thinking back on Winona's manipulative ways and her simpering, suddenly felt a wave of disgust.

How could there be a woman so utterly foolish?

And yet, she'd managed to cling to Julian for six whole years!

What a windfall for her!

As Claud was silently mourning Julian's misfortune, his phone rang. Glancing at the unfamiliar number, he answered, "Hello? Who is this?"

"Mr. Gallagher, hello. I've heard about you from Julian for years but never wanted to bother you until now. I just wanted to ask, are you with Julian? I… need to talk to him about something." On the other end was Winona, her voice apologetic.

Winona had always known who Julian's friends were.

She also knew they'd never accept her.

She was self-aware enough never to reach out to anyone in Julian's circle—not once, all these years.
